In a striking entrance at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, actor Matt Bomer graced the red carpet adorned in a bespoke Brioni tuxedo. His distinctive aquatic-blue blazer captured attention against the vibrant backdrop. Bomer, known for his role in “Fellow Travelers,” which garnered nominations for Best Television Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television, as well as Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or a Motion Picture Made for Television, left an indelible mark with his unique ensemble.
Engaging in a pre-ceremony conversation with WWD host Jeannie Mai and Alex Badia, WWD’s style director, Bomer delved into his role in “Fellow Travelers” and the inspiration behind his attire, particularly his jewelry. The deliberate exposure of a few buttons on his shirt served to highlight specific jewelry pieces, offering a nod to his character Hawk in “Fellow Travelers.” Bomer shared, “This is symbolic. My character’s name is Hawk in ‘Fellow Travelers,’ and then I have an evil eye, and this is a custom hawk eye ring.”
Styled by Warren Alfie Baker, Bomer’s custom ensemble featured sleek black pants paired with matching dress shoes and a crisp white button-down. The bright blue blazer boasted pointed black lapels and chic black accents around the pockets and buttons. Noteworthy was Bomer’s wind-swept hairstyle, a detail that did not escape notice, especially considering the actor’s journey through a wind tunnel to reach the Beverly Hills event.
This appearance marks another chapter in Bomer’s red carpet history, having previously secured a Golden Globe Award in 2015 for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Limited Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television for his contribution to “The Normal Heart.” Beyond his accolades, Bomer has also been involved in “Maestro,” a production that garnered four Golden Globe nominations.
The 81st annual Golden Globe Awards, hosted at The Beverly Hilton Hotel, provided a platform to celebrate outstanding achievements in film and television throughout 2023. Leading up to the ceremony, WWD conducted its inaugural real-time red carpet digital show, hosted by Jeannie Mai, offering a spotlight on the diverse array of looks showcased during the red carpet arrivals.
